What to expect
We expect about 2.1 goals from Maccabi Tel Aviv and 1.0 from FC Lugano, so Maccabi Tel Aviv come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.2 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Maccabi Tel Aviv to win. Maccabi Tel Aviv are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.1-1.0), and we make them about 62% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 62 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.62, which works out at about 38 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
One thing to watch
FC Lugano only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty. At around 62% on our numbers, it's a solid lean rather than a certainty.
